Thank You to Our Spring Convention Partner! At ou

Thank You to Our Spring Convention Partner!

At our Spring Convention in @mammothmountain , one of the highlights was seeing our #sponsor Carv in action—literally. Charlie from Carv and our awesome team at PSIA-AASI didn’t just show up; they showed off what’s possible when cutting-edge technology meets passionate skiers and instructors.

Don't know what Carv is? Carv is revolutionizing how we train, perform, and experience the mountain. With real-time audio coaching, detailed technique analysis, and personalized feedback, Carv empowers you to fine-tune every turn. Whether you’re an instructor working on movement analysis or a lifelong skier chasing new goals, Carv offers a whole new way to grow.

We watched members of our community strap in and light up with excitement—exchanging at the lift after hearing live tips in their ears, comparing stats in the lodge, and finding fresh motivation to improve. It was more than gear; it was a spark.

If you haven’t experienced Carv yet, make it a goal for next season. This is your chance to train smarter, ski stronger, and have a ton of fun along the way. Thanks again to Carv for supporting our mission and helping our members pursue excellence, one carve at a time.

🕊️ In Memory of Jerry Anderson 🕊️ On Ma

🕊️ In Memory of Jerry Anderson 🕊️

On May 7, Jerry began his next great adventure. A beloved husband, father, grandfather, friend—and a PSIA member for 38 years—Jerry lived fully and gave generously.
He was a climber, skier, fisherman, and guide whose impact reaches far beyond words. His legacy lives on in every route he built, every life he touched, and every mountain he loved.

This fall, we gather to celebrate him, for a full weekend of climbing, hiking, fishing, and remembering:

📅 Sept 13–15, 2025
📍 Southern Yosemite
If you are interested in joining us, please RSVP at link in your email (or DM us for link).

To honor Jerry’s memory, consider a donation to:
👉 @asca_bolt_replacement (ASCA) https://safeclimbing.org/
👉 https://ccareconnectsfoundation.org/

Forever strong, always exploring. We miss you, Jerry. 💙

As you're enjoying the summer, we keep celebrating our ambassadors! 👏🏻 And here's to another Sky Tavern fellow member :)
Because at the heart of our mountain community are the passionate individuals. Our Ambassador Program is built around people who not only love the sport, but actively help us grow and strengthen our community on and off the slopes.

"As a kid, I learned how to ski at Sky Tavern, and I am proud to be a PSIA L1-Certified Ski Instructor there now. I've been certified for three years, but I've been volunteering there for five seasons." - Ali Thomas

"It was a pleasure serving as Sky Tavern's Snowboard Ambassador this season. I'm a L1 snowboarding instructor and help with curriculum and organization.
The Ambassador position helped me better understand how PSIA/AASI's offerings help our instructor's make a greater impact with our clients - ultimately helping Sky Tavern fulfill its mission of making snowsports more accessible to kids in the Reno/Tahoe region. I've learned a lot this season and I'm discussing ideas to help make the relationship stronger and work harder for next season" - Bill Johnston, Sky Tavern

"The Ambassador Program is a great way for me to give feedback TO AASI/PSIA direct from our instructors at Kirkwood. I train instructors for their Level 1 snowboard certification, so I am able to inform new instructors of current and changing formats within AASI/PSIA." - Teresa Jones

"It’s been wonderful to be an ambassador this season. A Highlight has been simply connecting with my colleagues between lessons, on the chairlift and around the resort. Listening, learning and offering guidance to help others achieve their desired goals has been my main focus. The ambassador program is an asset to us here at Sugar Bowl, which I look forward to helping grow for the benefit of instructors whom are seeking to broaden their skills and wisdom." – MikeSki
